In an effort to identify early signs of decline and implement strategies to help older adults age successfully, the 性奴调教 Gateway Geriatric Education Center has developed resources for supporting primary care providers.
One strategy to increase the number of aging assessments in general practice is to leverage the Welcome to Medicare and Medicare Annual Wellness Visits (MAWV).
The MAWVs are intended to provide aggressive, safe and effective primary and secondary prevention strategies for older adults. There are three components to the MAWV:
- Health care risk assessment, or as we know it in the geriatrics world, the geriatric assessment
- Provider consultation
- Personalized prevention plan
